PLEASE NOTE NEITHER I OR GOLFGTIFORUM WILL BE RESPONSIBLE IF YOU UNDERTAKE THE PROCESS DETAILED BELOW AND SOMETHING GOES WRONG. YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK
Firmware 3810. It took about 50 minutes and upgraded successfully.
I had a Revision C unit and was previously running 2660 firmware:
I now have a "Version Information" menu item when I hold down the "Setup" button. When I click this it shows the following:
Delivery part number: 1T0035680D
HW-Version: H06
SW-Version: 3810
Active map coverage: West Europe
Active map supplier: Navteq
Map version DVD: 7074
The firmware upgrade deleted the maps and music on the HDD so i just reinstalled the V6.1 maps and added some music.
Nice new VW logo on startup and updated graphics and animation.
I followed these instructions and got the firmware from here:
http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,23779.0.html
I used the windows 7 to write the disk ( Maxwell DVD + RW ) or rather the image and had no problems with the install, it took around 50 mins.
Firmware 4020.
As above, took around 1 hour this time though, at first no controles on the steering wheel worked and the bluetooth module was missing but a reset after install put everything back.
My System now looks like this:
Delivery part number: 1T0035680D
HW-Version: H06
SW-Version: 4020
Active map coverage: West Europe
Active map supplier: Navteq
Map version DVD: 7074
This is the sourse i used for the Firmware 4020
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByTpaBJxxQsBY1RJNVBXajB6OEE/edit?pli=1
Theses are the differences from FW3810
1: NEW Faster navigation and user interface
2: NEW Automatic illumination control
3: NEW Enhanced destination input
1: The map scrolls smoother and faster in 4020.
2: Until now I haven’t tried it in twilight/darkness etc.
3: It’s faster when you enter cities/addresses etc.

Excuse my ignorance but how will I know whether the firmware is up to date on mine??
-
Depends on your maufactured date fella, try and press and hold the setup button for around 15 seconds and that will get you to the sub menus on your RNS.

press and holding the setup button for a few seconds then select map then map details...
That process will tell you what map your running...
-
One thing I have noticed is that DVD+RW or DVD+R are the most reliable disc type for updating both firmware and maps.
I have had mixed success with DVD-R and DVD-RW and CD types.
-
Hopefully this thread might lead to a couple queries I have regarding upgrading the RNS510 firmware, long time reader but casual contributor. :wink:
Recently I updated the Navigation Maps to a new version, but it did not come with the Speed Camera's POI. So from advice on another thread here I purchased an SD Card, downloaded the Speed Camera database and tried to upload it to my RNS510 but the option wasn't there. My firmware was out of date (2760).
I read up on how to update the firmware, but from reading various posts I got scared off from doing it for fear of 'bricking' the unit. My main concern is with compatibility, I can access the Setup menu but I couldn't see how to find out what revision the unit is. I suspect it will be a fairly old one as the car is a 2009 plate.
Any advice on finding the unit revision? Not really keen on pulling the unit out of the dash unless I have too!

Funny enough mine was an old unit or rather is, you can do it using VAGCOM, but seeing as i didn't have mine to hand i removed the unit, its only a plastic cover and 4 screws, pretty simple really :smiley:
-
I have a Dec 09 on a 59 plate and cannot seem to update the maps. When I put the DVD +R in, it acknowledges the fact that a nav disc has been inserted and asks if I want to save or read from the disc and then nothing happens. It's been in today for 2 hours without success.
Is there an issue with the units being able to read certain disc sizes ? The v7 I had was ok on a 4.7gb DVD+RW but this is a 8.5GB disc
Is it the RNS510 and what version number fella?
-
Its in the other post fella, press and hold the setup button and you enter the sub menus!

I've just upgraded mine to the 3810 firmware. It took about 50 minutes and upgraded successfully.

I used the windows 7 to write the disk ( Maxwell DVD + RW ) or rather the image and had no problems with the install, it took around 50 mins, just need V8 Map DVD if i can find it (if anyone can point me in the right direction ) :wink:
Did the RNS510 D firmware download work for the C unit you had?
I am looking at doing it all today but i think mines will be from an older version.
-
Yep sure did, its pretty good really, a lot different :smiley:
-
ok well have to wait and see which one im running first.
got SW 3890 ready to upgrade from 1XXX/2XXX to create the partition first then will upgrade to 4XXX.
Bit worried about bricking the system but wont learn unless i try.

Where did you get the 4XXX From bud i couldn't find it?
-
ScottA said he had a copy as well as VAGCOM so was gonna use the VAGCOM to check what i am running first then see which one i need to upgrade to.
also is here as well
http://www.my-gti.com/3354/volkswagen-rns-510-firmware-upgrade-to-version-4020-4024-4026-4028 (http://www.my-gti.com/3354/volkswagen-rns-510-firmware-upgrade-to-version-4020-4024-4026-4028)
If you upgrade to 4XXX let me now how it is cos if it isnt that much of a improvement over 3XXX then i might not use it.

Anyway, halfway through upgrade to 3810 - pretty scary when whole unit goes black for 1 minute....
What's new in version 4XXX software?
What's new in the recent G&H revisions of the RNS510?
-
Rislar any chance of a video to see the differences?

Ok i have burnt the cd but whenever i put it into the system is comes up with CD/DVD Error.
I used a Verbatim DVD-RW cd and burnt at 2x on my mac.
What could i have possibly done wrong?

I seem to recall sometimes it says CD/DVD error even though it's fine. Try rebooting the RNS by holding <, > and the star witht hen disc in and see what happens. :undecided:
Otherwise you might be better buying DVD-R's not RW's, I'm not sure what difference it makes (in theory they should both work) but I know the units can be fussy.
-
It seems they dont like -RW mine was a +RW i also used windows 7 on a mac as macs give errors writing iso files for some reason!
-
Ok my files are .nrg files. do i need to do something with the file before i put it on the disc?
-
Ok my files are .nrg files. do i need to do something with the file before i put it on the disc?
Yes they should be ISO files, very odd yours are NRG's though :shocked:
-

ye they are .nrg when i extracted them. hmmm. what did u use to extract them cos they always come up as nrg
-
Winrar fella!
-
Yep not working. on the site its says
Download the files and extract them using winrar and you will have a NRG format ISO file to burn. Using Nero burn a DVD+RW or DVD-R (CDR works as well) at a slow speed (4 x is ok for DVD and 16 x for CD).
So it should work i would of thought.
tried it with a dvd+r as well and same thing.
-
Are you doing the 381X ?
-
Looking back i used this as the other was in different parts hence the .nrg files.
Try here for mine:
http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,23779.0.html
Its deffo an ISO file, i thought you where doing the 4020 fella!
-
Are you doing the 381X ?
Ye I decided to copy ur process.
Might have to find someone with windows as only have macs here.
-
Right ive found the problem, you need to use this site for it:
http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,23779.0.html
Ive just done it with the mac and its an ISO File :smiley:
Hopefully that will sort you, just been through the whole process and updated the original post !!
-
The 3810 files I downloaded of the my-gti also came out in nero (NRG) format, but I just downloaded ImgBurn and it created the disk direct from that.

Additional adjustments for video
Larger RVC screen with transparent menus at the side
-
Mine is the revision "C"
Cheers.
Yeah I read that in mygti site but what does it offer in real money terms :grin:
Especially all the "NEW" sections.
-
Ok mine works now.
started of with a revision C unit and 2720 firmware
upgraded to 3810 using the following link
http://www.my-gti.com/3093/volkswagen-rns-510-firmware-upgrade-to-version-3810-3814-3816-3818 (http://www.my-gti.com/3093/volkswagen-rns-510-firmware-upgrade-to-version-3810-3814-3816-3818)
took about 45 minutes
now i am currently updating to 4020 so will update once its finished and i have reinstalled the maps!
I want to say thank you to Rislar
But ScottA was the biggest help taking time out of his day to help me check everything and he even stayed to help me burn all the software for me and made sure that it worked. so thank you mate as i said owe you a few drinks!
Will put up some pics i have finished everything.
-
Excellent and good man, glad its sorted :smiley:
-
Ok i have done everything! only one problem i have lost all my POI's which is a bit strange!
Any help on this one? :angry:

Hope it ain't anything to do with the partition on the HD. Tried putting adding the cameras from one of the posts on here but even that didn't work. Been a long day!

Here you go bud:
http://www.robpol86.com/index.php/US_RNS-510_Video_In_Motion
I got it to work but only after it wouldn't take it at first, (Software outdated) do a reset with the disk in, that booted it, also it threw my maps all over the place to start with (near had a heart attack :grin:) then settled and works like a charm :cool:
-
Any advice on finding the unit revision? Not really keen on pulling the unit out of the dash unless I have too!
Funny enough mine was an old unit or rather is, you can do it using VAGCOM, but seeing as i didn't have mine to hand i removed the unit, its only a plastic cover and 4 screws, pretty simple really :smiley:
Thanks for that Rislar, mine is a revision C by the look of it. Can you tell me if it's possible to go straight upto the 4020 Firmware or do you have to install 3810 first? :smiley:
-
No fella, you need to do the 3810 first to create a partiton :smiley:

Do I boot it with the firmware disc or the map disc. Could really do with these cameras and the othe poi.
-
That is another disk fella, its only about 156kb, my PIO are on also, well the ones that come with V8!

Sorry mate got a bit confused there.
Are the POI on another disc to the V6.5 maps?
-
Sorry bud i thought you where talking about the VIM!
I didnt have POI's on my V6 but have them now on the V8 !
-

Oh ok.
I had them on the car before but dont have them now and when i try to put the cameras on the system they load up but dont come up on the display.
Gettin a bit confused what im doing wrong!
-
Ill have to play as i never thought of adding them before i updated everything, cant see it being an issue though. I did notice they look to be in a different place on the update software so maybe thats the issue and they need to be activated :smiley:

Cant afford to get a speeding ticket down back roads!
-
Right ive had a little look and i went into setup then nav then my POI's and added there, goto maps press extras scroll down then tick speed cameras!
-
Right ive had a little look and i went into setup then nav then my POI's and added there !
See i dont have any POI on my system they dont seem to show up!

Edited post above !

Ps mine was greyed out before i went into setup, I'm in the car now lol
-
Ps mine was greyed out before i went into setup, I'm in the car now lol
Thats what i did!
See i have non of the standard POI in the menu. with regards the added speed cameras i can add them as you have said but when i got to the POI menu in the maps it allows me to to go into the option but then there is nothing there!
either they have somehow been hidden or the upgrade didnt work properly
-
Right mine works so its your map version bud, do you know about map Priority in POI's?
-

Right not to confuse you but the easiest way is to upgrade to V8 or read this and get a better understanding :smiley:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8035571/POInspect0r/PersonalPOI_Quick_Start_Guide_v1.0.pdf
Scroll down to page 9 first then read the rest.

This what i did!
i think something has happened when adding the new firmware as there is nothing there!
-
I cant see it bud, ill work it out, if you've the poi files, email me them and ill check them now, email is in my profile bud :smiley:

Well i believe that the map i am running has it on the dvd!
the POI has uploaded on the system but they are just not appearing on when i go to add them. there are no options.
http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=238149.10 (http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=238149.10)
I used the file on here from Mike. it works on other people hence i think i have a problem with my system.
-
Thats fine as they can be deleted and replaced with the ones with map priority 3 instead of 255, ill have to do download them and take a look first :smiley:

Cheers mate.
Need to find out whats has gon wrong!
-
Right i've just downloaded them and copied them from the SD card on to the RNS and they work bud, mind i had to zoom out as we've only one anywhere near us :grin: You can add a few actually so i'd suggest copying that file on Sd card and adding it to the RNS.

Yep i did all that and i add them and them the POI option is active but when i go into it there is nothing on the screen.
so i think i have a problem somewhere along the time!
-
If it was me id delete the old one on the RNS under Tools, Navigation, Personal POIs then reinstall, it'll only take a few mins! Will get on top of it im sure :smiley:
-
Deleted the old one and reinstalled and same thing. even tried another one.
They are being loaded on and are an option as the POI option is no longer greyed out but there is never anything in the menu!
Considering trying another map and if that failed reinstall 3810 and see if it works then
-
Very odd as mine is the same version, just ive V8 maps!

-
Its alright will just upgrade to V8 and see if that works.
V6.5 might not work with the new firmware! :angry:
